Steph Hollinshead

The most eye-catching chapter of that story is her partnership with Angel Shared. Six wins from 22 races together is a genuinely impressive ratio — that's more than 1 in every 4 races, a level of consistency that speaks to a real understanding between yard and horse. When a trainer finds a horse that clicks like that, it tends to reveal something about how they work: patient, attentive, willing to keep coming back to the well when it's working.

Her record at Newmarket stands out too. Three winners from 15 runners there — 1 in every 5 — is a meaningful return at one of Britain's most competitive and prestigious tracks. It suggests she knows how to place a horse for that course, which is exactly the kind of local knowledge that separates a shrewd trainer from one who simply sends horses wherever there's a race.

Ground conditions matter for Hollinshead's horses. On fast, dry ground, she wins 3 from 33 races — around 1 in 11 — which climbs above her overall average and hints that her string may prefer a faster surface. It's the kind of pattern that punters quietly note and act on.

The one concern is the dip in form. Last year she was winning at roughly 1 in every 9 races — 11% — which was a genuinely encouraging rate for a yard still establishing itself. This season that has more than halved to 1 in every 19. Whether that reflects a quieter spell, a tougher draw of races, or something the yard is working through is hard to say from the outside. What is clear is that Hollinshead has already shown she can operate at a higher level than this season's numbers suggest, and with a horse like Angel Shared in the yard and a sharp record at Newmarket, the tools to bounce back are already there.
